Another bum signed

What is going on with this team? Are they obsessed with only signing bums? Former Steeler bums?

They just signed Sylvester today. You know, like, the guy who has never done a damn thing in a real game in his life? That guy. It feels like this team is in disarray; like they really don't have a legit plan to improve at all. If Sylvester was any good at all, he would have got some playing time last year, as they were so thin at LB, and yet, he got nothing. Way to go. Way to sign another player who we know won't do anything to make this team get any better.

You start camp with 90 guys and end with 53 plus 8 practice squad players. That means you can have 29 "bums" on each team. He is an excellent special team player and was injured a lot of last year. He is no bigger risk than a udfa.

Yes 300k, that will kill us. He has no less upside than an udfa, he knows that this is his last chance because they didn't tender him, a move that saved 700 k. Besides, half a million for an outstanding special teams player might be worth it.
